Shanghai Metro (China)
The Shanghai Metro is the most extensive on Earth, covering 420 miles and with 345 total stations. It’s no surprise that the world’s second-most populous city would have such a huge system.

The Beijing Subway is nearly as extensive as the Shanghai system, and it even has more riders on an annual basis, with 3.8 billion annual riders. It’s a gargantuan system and is essential for navigating the Chinese capital.
